At first things were okay, but I got hit by the map crash bug on a new game.
I was driving a rover and had just entered the area of the SE base, and then was getting ready to leave the area of the SE base. (did not claim it).
I had checked and updated the map after I got the 5k money, before I got the rover. And I think I also checked the map a second time enroute to the SE base.
Here is the console log.

TRIG SouthEast Rover0
Not sure if that is a factor or not, or just from me approaching the SE base.
I do recall one other time I had a map crash I was within the Ares base area. Not sure if that would be a factor or not.
Edit:
Okay, this is interesting and worrying.
I restarted the game, my profile stats are wiped. Money gone, skills gone, playtime reset to 0.
Edit 2:
Entered the game. Spawned next to the rover NPC with my rover there, funds at 4,500, playtime and skills still all 0.
Edit 2A:
Also, the Rover is pointing the big open cylindrical container...
Edit 2B:
And it moved a moment and stopped... the crash wiped the fuel...
Edit 2C:
Please tell me the fuel containers are still in the game someplace... Not that loosing all of a minute of gameplay is much of a big deal...
